Remove the three plastic extrusions from the parts bag. Starting
from one end, place the first extrusion against the edge of the
steel panel using the channel as shown. The remaining two
extrusions will be placed end to end, resulting in one extrusion
that runs the width of the tailgate. Tighten the 4 bolts that were
loosened previously.

Position plastic washers from the parts kit on the bolts so the
large diameter of the washer goes under the existing washer
as shown. Hand tighten all 4 bolts in their original holes first,
then tighten each one using the Torx bit. Start with the center
two bolts first, then the outer two. Do not over tighten.
